HttpWebRequest to Automate Secure Requests

I have done web automations in the past where I use fiddler and recreate the requests in C#. The website I'm currently working on automating doesn't have any viewable POST or GET requests in fiddler. Everything is either listed as secure or simply labeled "Tunnel To" is there a way to figure out what those requests are and replicate them? Or is my best bet to simply use a webBrowser control and automate it that way?

I'd prefer to use HttpWebRequests or something similar if possible because of the speed and security, but I am open to other suggestions.

Solution

  • I assume you are asking about HTTPS requests which Fiddler doesn't decrypt by default. To allow decruption, go to Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS and ensure the *Capture HTTPS CONNECTs *and Decrypt HTTPS traffic checkboxes are selected
